Sanford goldberg

Sandy Goldberg (PhD Columbia University, 1995) works in the areas of Epistemology, Philosophy of Language, Philosophy of Mind. Goldberg's interests in epistemology include topics such as reliabilism, the epistemology of testimony, the theory of epistemic justification, social epistemology, self-knowledge, and skepticism. In Philosophy of Mind and Language, his interests are in the individuation of propositional attitudes, externalist theories of mental content and linguistic meaning, the semantics of speech and attitude reporting, and the theory of speech acts.

A good sample of his work can be found in his five recent books, Anti-Individualism (Cambridge University Press, 2007), Relying on Others (Oxford University Press, 2010), Assertion (Oxford University Press, 2015), To the Best of Our Knowledge (Oxford University Press, 2018) and Conversational Pressure (Oxford University Press, 2020).

"On speaker expectations of her audience: the case of telling"

Dr. Sanford Goldberg

.

ABSTRACT: A good deal of recent work has emphasized that there are expectations that a speaker is entitled to have of her audience when she tells them something. In this paper I explore several recent views regarding the source, scope, and content of such expectations, and I find them wanting. Using my criticisms of these views I develop my own account; it is inspired by, and aims to supplement, the work of Miranda Fricker.
